"Crowned Land" represents the imposition of terra nullius by the British Crown following settlement; a principle that dissected and transgressed pre-existing pathways and cultural boundaries, trade routes and song lines and declared Aboriginal people trespassers on their own country.

As you view this work, feel your feet sink into the sand and yourself into this rich, cultural landscape that cradles its own jewels and sacred stories.
